It could very well be the same two playing in the G/F this year but the result reversed - would be a good, hard game. One query though is whether or not Ivan Cleary has a curse for not winning G/F's as a coach.Yes David , they are an excellent team that seem to have no weaknesses whatsoever in them . Their pure determination to destroy the opposition can only be matched by that team from Sin City in the very south of the country .
However the Panthers , IMO are the better of the two and should they meet once again in this years G.F. I believe that the outcome will be entirely different to that of last season.
Now after saying all of that hogwash I am not writing off the Dragons chances either - just yet .
Not sure why people on this forum are so mysterious and pretend to know things others don’t? The player is Dylan brown and he’s unaware he was being filmed
We'll probably get penalised for it twice this weekend, just to make up for it.Could very well be , however there seems to be so much more intent in the Panthers this season and whether or not Cleary can do the deed , then I am sure that the players will in his stead .
Just on a side note , I have noticed that Penrith are employing the same tactics - almost - as the Storm . There was a tackle on Tyson Fizzell where he gather the ball and immediately went to ground , but that did not stop 2 panthers coming in ( 1 late ) and holding him down when he was already stationary .
Of course the ref could see no fault in that and allowed the panthers to get even although he was prevented from play the ball , teams used to be penalized for that , but not anymore apparently .
Got me beat ?
But I’ve barely posted in it
Along with a sin bin to go with it.
If he is I hope he’s ready, we don’t need him back today only to be out for another 6 weeks. I’d rather him get it right, especially with Sullivan also out.
If Norman and Clune can’t outplay Walker and Hutchison I certainly wouldn’t be re signing Norman. Clune and Hutchison both have their own strengths and weaknesses but if by this stage of his career Norman can’t outplay an 18 year old kid in an Anzac game he’s not what we need. In saying that I would have loved to have seen Sullivan and Walker go up against each other if it panned out that way.
Fair enough but Clune actually lines up against the 18 year old not Norman... Even so, the reason for my “Hunt need him” comment comes the stronger defence that Hunt delivers over our current half. His defence prior to injury was fantastic and we have unfortunately had some misses in this area over the last few weeks, something not lost on Robinson i’m sure.
